General indications

Warranty

In your own interest, and in order to ensure the reliability of the motorcycle, you are strongly advised to contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre for any servicing that requires particular technical expertise. Our highly qualified staff have access to the specialised tools required to perform any servicing job to the highest professional standards, using only Ducati original spare parts as the best guarantee for perfect interchangeability, smooth running and long life.

All Ducati motorcycles come with a Warranty Booklet. However, the warranty does not apply to motorcycles used in competitions. If any motorcycle part is tampered with, modified, or replaced with parts other than original Ducati spare parts during the warranty period, the warranty is automatically invalidated.

Symbols

Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. advises you to read this manual carefully in order to familiarise yourself with your motorcycle. If in doubt, please contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. The information in this manual will help ensure that your riding experience is trouble-free and enjoyable, and it will help you obtain top performance from your motorcycle for a long time. This booklet uses a set of symbols with special meanings:

Warning

Failure to comply with these instructions may put you at risk, and could lead to severe injury or even death.

Important

Risk of damage to the motorcycle and/or its components.

Notes

Additional information about the current operation.

References to the right or left side of the motorcycle assume you are sitting on the seat, facing forward.

Useful road safety information

Warning

Read this section before riding your motorcycle.

Many accidents are the result of the inexperience of the rider. Always make sure you have your licence with you; you need a valid licence that entitles you to ride a motorcycle. Do not lend your motorcycle to persons who are inexperienced or do not hold a valid licence.

Riders and passengers must always wear appropriate clothing and a safety helmet.

Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that could become tangled in the controls or limit your field of vision.

Never start or run the engine in enclosed space. Exhaust gases are toxic and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death within a short time.

The rider should keep his/her feet on the footrests when the motorcycle is in motion.

Always hold the handlebars firmly with both hands so you will be ready for sudden changes in direction or in the road surface. The pillion passenger should always hold on to the grabhandles under the seat with both hands.

Obey the legal requirements and observe national and local regulations.

Always respect speed limits where these are indicated and always adapt your speed to suit the current visibility, road and traffic conditions.

Always signal your intention to turn or change lane in good time, using the appropriate turn signals.

Be sure you are clearly visible and avoid riding within the blind spot of a vehicle in front of you.

Be very careful at road junctions, or when riding in areas near exits from private land or car parks, or on the slip roads to motorways.

Always turn off the engine when refuelling. Be extremely careful not to spill fuel on the engine or on the exhaust pipe when refuelling.

Do not smoke when refuelling.

While refuelling, it is possible to inhale noxious fuel vapours. Should any fuel drops be spilled on your skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water and change your clothing.

Always remove the key if leaving your motorcycle unattended. The engine, exhaust pipes and silencers remain hot for a long time.

Warning

The exhaust system might be hot, even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch exhaust system with any body part and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.).

Park your motorcycle where no one is likely to knock against it, and use the sidestand.

Never park on uneven or soft ground, or your motorcycle may fall over.

Riding with a full load

Your motorcycle is designed for travelling over long distances with a full load in complete safety.

Even weight distribution is critical for maintaining safety standards, and to avoid getting into difficulties when making sudden manoeuvres or riding on bumpy roads.

Information on load capacity

The total weight of the motorcycle in running order with rider, luggage and additional accessories should not exceed 390 kg.

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest possible position and as close to centre of the motorcycle as possible.

Secure the luggage firmly to the motorcycle structure.

Luggage incorrectly secured may cause the motorcycle to become unstable.

Never attach bulky or heavy objects to the top yoke or front mudguard, as this would cause dangerous instability.

Do not insert objects into gaps in the frame, where they could interfere with moving parts.

Check that the tyres are inflated to the pressure indicated on page 92 and that they are in good condition.

Identification data

All Ducati motorcycles have two identification numbers, one for the frame (fig. 1) and one for the engine (fig. 2).

Frame number

Engine number

Notes

These numbers indicate the motorcycle model and should be quoted when ordering spare parts.

In the event of an interruption of the power supply from the battery, when power is restored at the next Key-On, the backlighting will be set by default to maximum brightness.

LAP time display function

To activate this function, go into the menu and set the "LAP" function to "On" by pressing switch (1, fig. 9) in position B "▼" for 3 seconds.

START and STOP the timer by pressing the high beam FLASH button (11, fig. 5) on the left-hand handlebar switch. When the LAP function is active, each time you press the flasher switch, the display will show the lap time for 10 seconds, before reverting to normal mode.

You can save a maximum of 30 laps in the memory. If the memory is full, each time you press the flasher switch, the display will not save any more lap times and will display the flashing message "FULL" for 3 seconds until the memory is reset.

When you switch the LAP function off from the menu, the lap in progress will not be saved.

If the LAP function is active and the display is suddenly switched off (Key-Off), the LAP function is switched off automatically (even if the timer was ON, the lap in progress is not saved).

If the timer is not stopped, when it reaches 9 minutes, 59 seconds and 99 hundredths of a second, it restarts from 0 (zero) and continues until the function is switched off. If however the LAP function is switched on and the memory has not been cleared, but fewer than 30 laps have been saved (e.g. 18 laps), the display will save any remaining laps until the memory is full (in this case, it will save a further 12 laps).

This function only displays lap times once; however, lap times are saved for subsequent display in the Lap Memory function.

LAP Memory display

Displays the data saved with the LAP function: lap number and time.

To display the saved lap times, enter the menu and select the "LAP MEM" page.

From this page, if you press switch (1, fig. 9) in position B "▼" for 3 seconds, the data for the first lap will appear.

The display will show the lap number, lap time, MAX speed and the MAX rpm reached for the lap in question.

If you press switch (1, fig. 9) in position B "▼", the display scrolls through the 30 saved times, before returning to the 1^st lap.

If you hold button (1, fig. 9) in position B "▼" for 3 seconds while the saved times are displayed, the display immediately resets all the saved times. In this case, if the LAP function was active, it is switched off automatically.

The MAX speed saved is the maximum speed indicated on the display in Lap function.

To exit display of the lap times memory, press switch (1, fig. 9) in position A "▲".

If no lap times are saved in memory, all 30 lap times will be displayed as "0.00.00".

If the engine trips the rev limiter during a lap, the "OVER REV." indicator light will come on during display of the lap time (9, fig. 4).

DDA data acquisition

Intelligent headlight switch-off

This function helps reduce battery use by automatically switching off the headlight. The device is triggered in 3 cases:

• in the first case, if you turn the key from OFF to ON and do not start the engine within 60 seconds, the headlight is turned off and will be turned on again only when the engine is next switched on;
• in the second case, after the normal use of the motorcycle with the lights on, if the engine is stopped using the RUN-STOP on the right-hand handlebar switch. In this case, the headlamp is switched off 60 seconds after the engine is switched off, and only switched on again the next time the engine is started;
• in the third case, the headlight is switched off while the engine is being started and switched back on again when the engine is running.

Intelligent headlight switch-on

This function allows programmed activation of the headlight even with the motorcycle off (Key-Off).

Immediately after key-off, the instrument panel remains active for 60 seconds, thus allowing the headlight to be switched on if switch (1, fig. 9) is pressed in position B "▼" or A "▲".

During these 60 seconds, each time the switch (1, fig. 9) is pressed in position A "▲" or B "▼", the instrument panel will activate the headlight for 30 seconds; each press of the switch will add to the headlight activation time, up to a maximum of 6 presses (equivalent to a maximum activation time of 180 seconds).

After the first time you press the switch (1) in position A "▲" or B "▼", the period of 30 seconds starts, thus switching on the headlight. Further switch-on time can be added only if you press the switch again within these 30 seconds. If the 30 seconds have elapsed, no further multiples of 30 seconds can be added, and the instrument panel will switch off the headlight.

To reset this function, you must perform at least one Key-On/ Key-Off.

If the battery power is interrupted at any time while this function is active, when power is restored, the instrument panel will de-activate the function (the instrument panel does not remain active for 60 seconds).

The immobilizer system

For additional anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned off.

The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in the switch when the ignition is switched On. The modulated signal represents the "password" (which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow the engine to start if it recognises this password.

Keys (fig. 28)

The owner receives a set of keys, comprising:

• 2 black keys (B).

These contain the "code" of the immobilizer system.

Notes

Your Ducati dealer may ask you to produce your Code

Card in order to carry out certain servicing operations.

The black keys (B) are the keys for normal use, and are used to:

• start the engine;
• open the lock on the fuel tank filler cap;
• open the seat lock.

Notes

The two keys have a small tag (1) attached, which

shows their identification number.

fig. 28

Code card

A CODE CARD (fig. 29) is supplied with the keys, showing the electronic code (A, fig. 30) that must be used if the engine is locked by the immobilizer and consequently does not start at the next Key-On.

Warning

Keep the CODE CARD in a safe place. We advise the user to keep the code printed on the CODE CARD on his/her person at all times in order to be able to override the engine lock using the procedure described below, in the event of a malfunction of the immobilizer system, signalled by illumination of the amber "EOBD - Engine diagnosis" light (8, fig. 4).

This operation is only possible if the electronic code indicated on the code card is known.

Warning

1 Your dealer will ask you to produce the Code Card in order to re-program or replace a key.

fig. 29

Immobilizer override procedure

Should the immobilizer become locked, you can perform the "Immobilizer Override" procedure from the instrument panel by entering the respective function as follows: select the "CODE" page from the menu.

Notes

This menu should be active only if there is at least one immobilizer error.

With this page selected, the initial code is always displayed as "00000". If you hold the button (1, fig. 9) in position B "▼" for 3 seconds, you will access the procedure for entering the electronic code given on the Code Card.

Entering the code:

on entering this function, the first digit on the left starts flashing.

Switch (1, fig. 9):

each time you press the switch in position B "▼", the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second; if you press the switch in position A "▲", you can set the second digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B "▼", the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second; if you press the switch in position A "▲", you can set the third digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B "▼", the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second; if you press the switch in position A "▲", you can set the fourth digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B "▼", the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second; if you press the switch in position A "▲", you can set the fifth digit, which will start flashing. Each time you press the switch in position B "▼", the number increases cyclically in steps of one digit every second; press in position A "▲" to confirm the code.

If the code has been entered correctly, the message CODE and the code itself will flash simultaneously for 4 seconds. The "EOBD engine diagnosis" warning light (8, fig. 4) will go off. The instrument panel then automatically exits the menu, thus allowing "temporary" starting of the motorcycle. If the error persists, at the next key-on, the instrument panel will return to an error state and immobilize the engine. If instead the code has been entered incorrectly, the instrument panel will automatically return to the "CODE" menu and display the code "00000".

Operation

When the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF, the immobilizer system activates the engine lock. When the ignition key is turned from OFF to ON to start the engine: 1) if the code is recognised, the protection system releases the engine lock. When you press the START (2, fig. 35) switch, the engine will start up.
2) if the "EOBD engine diagnosis" warning light (8, fig. 4) comes on and if, when you press the switch (10, fig. 5) in the "▼" position, the "Error IMMO" message appears on the display, indicating that the code has not been recognised. In this case, turn the ignition key back to OFF and then to ON again. If the engine still does not start, try again with the other black key. If the engine still does not start, contact the DUCATI Service network.

Warning

Sharp knocks can damage the electronic components inside the key.

Always use the same key throughout the procedure. Using different keys could prevent the system from recognising the code in the key.

Duplicate keys

If you need additional keys, contact your DUCATI Service Centre with all the keys you have in your possession and your CODE CARD.

The Ducati Service Centre will program all the new keys as well as any keys you already have.

You may be asked to provide proof that you are the legitimate owner of the motorcycle.

The codes for any keys not present during the memory programming procedure are cancelled, to ensure that any keys that may have been lost can no longer be used to start the engine.

Notes

If you sell your motorcycle, it is essential to transfer all keys and the CODE CARD to the new owner.

Ignition switch and steering lock (fig. 32)

This is located in front of the fuel tank and has four positions:

is sufficiently even and firm.

Do not park on soft ground, gravel or on asphalt softened by the sun etc. or the motorcycle may fall over.

When parking on a slope, always park with the rear wheel on the downhill side.

To lower the sidestand, hold the motorcycle handlebars with both hands and push down on the stand (1) with your foot until it is fully extended. Tilt the motorcycle until the sidestand is resting on the ground.

Warning

Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported on destand.

To raise the sidestand to rest position (horizontal position), tilt the motorcycle to the right and, at the same time, lift the stand (1) with your foot.

Notes

It is advisable to check periodically that the stand

mechanism (consisting of two springs, one inside the other) and safety sensor (2) are working properly.

Notes

The engine can be started with the sidestand down

and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).

Front fork adjusters

The front fork can be adjusted for rebound, compression and spring preload.

The settings are adjusted by way of external adjuster screws:

1) to adjust rebound damping (fig. 46 and fig. 47);
2) to adjust inner spring preload (fig. 46 and fig. 47);
3) to adjust compression damping (fig. 48 and fig. 49).

Park the motorcycle in a stable position on its sidestand.

To adjust the rebound damping setting, turn the adjuster (1) on the top of each fork leg with a flat-blade screwdriver (1100) or the special wrench (1100S).

To adjust compression damping, turn the adjuster (3, fig. 48 and fig. 49) at the rear of the fork bottoms using a flat blade screwdriver.

As you turn the adjuster (1 and 3), you will hear it click.

Each click corresponds to a setting.

The maximum damping is obtained with the adjuster screwed in fully to the "0" position.

Start with this position and turn the adjuster counterclockwise. Count the clicks, which correspond to position 1, 2 and so forth.

The STANDARD factory settings are as follows:

1100

compression: 1.5 turns ± 1 / 4 turn;

rebound: 1.5 turns ± 1 / 4 turn.

Spring preload (A, fig. 47): 10mm (3 turns from fully open position).

To adjust the preload of the spring inside each fork leg, turn the hexagonal adjuster nut (2, fig. 46 with a 22mm hex wrench.

1100S

compression: 8 clicks;

rebound: 12 clicks.

Spring preload: 10mm (3 turns from fully open position).

To change the spring preload for each fork leg, turn the adjuster (2, fig. 47) with a 22mm hex wrench.

Important

Adjust both fork legs to the same setting.

Shock absorber adjusters (fig. 50 and fig. 51)

The shock absorber has external adjusters that enable you to adjust the suspension to suit the load on the motorcycle. Adjuster (1), located on the left-hand side at the point at which the top of the shock absorber is fixed to the rear sub-frame, controls rebound damping.

Turn the adjuster (1) clockwise to increase damping, or counter-clockwise to reduce damping.

1100

STANDARD setting from the fully closed position (clockwise):

• unscrew the adjuster (1) by 13 clicks.

Spring preload: 18mm

1100S

STANDARD setting from the fully closed position (clockwise):

• unscrew the adjuster (1) by 15 clicks.

Spring preload: 19mm

The two nuts (2) on the upper part of the shock absorber serve to adjust the preload on the external spring. To change spring preload, slacken off the upper lock nut.

Then tighten or loosen the lower nut to increase or decrease spring preload as required.

Warning

The shock absorber is filled with gas under pressure

and may cause severe damage if taken apart by unskilled persons.

Riding the motorcycle

Running-in precautions

Max. rpm (fig. 52) RPM limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal use:

1) up to 1000km ;
2) from 1000 to 2500km

Up to 1000 km

During the first 1000km keep an eye on the rev counter. The indicator must not exceed 5500-6000 rpm.

During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, while keeping within the recommended limit.

For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension. For the first 100km use the brakes gently. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long. This will enable a correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against brake discs.

To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.

It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and ensure that it is lubricated as required.

From 1000 to 2500km

At this point, you can ask for more power from the engine, being careful, however, never to exceed 7,000 rpm.

Important

Throughout the running-in period, be careful to stick to the recommended maintenance schedule and periodic service intervals indicated in the warranty booklet. Failure to follow these instructions will release Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. from any liability for any engine damage or shortened engine life.

Keeping to the running-in recommendations will ensure longer engine life and reduce the need for overhauls and re-tuning.

Pre-ride checks

Warning

Failure to carry out these checks before starting may

result in damage to the motorcycle and injury to rider.

Before starting, check the following points:

Fuel level in the tank

Check the fuel level in the tank. Re-fuel if necessary (page 64).

Engine oil level

Check the oil level in the sump through the sight glass. Top up if necessary (page 94).

Brake and clutch fluid

Check the fluid levels in the respective reservoirs.

Tyre condition

Check the pressure and condition of the tyres (page 92).

Controls

Operate the brake, clutch, gearchange and throttle controls (lever, pedal and twistgrip) and check that they function correctly.

Lights and indicators

Make sure the lights, indicators and horn work properly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs (page 89).

Key locks

Check that the fuel filler cap and the seat are locked.

Sidestand

Make sure the sidestand operates smoothly and is in the correct position (page 54).

Warning

If there are any faults or malfunctions, do not start orcycle and contact your DUCATI Dealer or

Authorized Service Centre.

Starting the engine

Notes

Follow the "High ambient temperature" procedure to

start the engine when it is already warm.

Warning

Before starting the engine, familiarise yourself with

the controls that you will use when riding.

Normal ambient temperature

between 10^ / 50^ and 35^ / 95^)

1) Turn the ignition switch to position (1, fig. 53).

Check that both the green light N and the red light on the instrument panel come on.

Important

The oil pressure warning light should go out a few seconds after the engine has started (page 11).

Warning

The sidestand should be in rest position (horizontal), otherwise the safety sensor prevents the engine starting.

Notes

The engine can be started with the sidestand down

and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).

2) Make sure that the stop switch (2, fig. 54) is in the

RUN position, then press the starter button (3, fig. 54).

Allow the engine to start on its own, without turning the throttle.

Notes

If the battery is flat, the system automatically disables operation of the starter motor.

Important

Do not rev the engine when cold. Allow some time for the oil to warm up and reach all points that need lubricating.

Moving off

1) Disengage the clutch by squeezing the control lever.
2) Push down the gearchange lever firmly with the tip of your foot to engage first gear.
3) Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The motorcycle will start moving.
4) Release the clutch lever completely and accelerate.
5) To change up a gear, close the throttle to reduce the engine revs, disengage the clutch, lift the gearchange lever and release the clutch lever.

To change down, proceed as follows: release the twistgrip, pull the clutch lever, shortly speed up to help gears synchronize, shift down and release the clutch.

Use the controls intelligently and opportunely: when riding uphill, change down immediately when the motorcycle begins to slow down to avoid abnormal strain on the motorcycle frame and the engine.

Important

Avoid sudden acceleration, as this may lead to

misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch lever should not be held in longer than necessary after a gear is engaged, otherwise friction parts may overheat and wear out.

Braking

Slow down in time, change down to use the engine brake, then apply both brakes. Pull in the clutch lever before the motorcycle comes to a stop to prevent the engine stalling.

Warning

Use both the brake lever and the brake pedal for effective braking. Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking power. Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as you may lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking capacity is significantly reduced. Always use the brakes very gently and carefully when riding under these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control.

When riding down long, steep downhill slopes, change down to use engine braking. Apply the brakes intermittently for brief periods only. Keeping the brakes applied continuously causes the friction material to overheat and dangerously reduces braking effectiveness. Tyre inflation pressures below the specified value will reduce braking efficiency, and compromise steering precision and roadholding on bends.

Stopping the motorcycle

Reduce speed, change down and release the throttle twistgrip. Change down to engage first gear and then neutral. Apply the brakes and bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the key to position (1, fig. 55).

Important

Do not leave the key in the ON position when the engine is off to avoid damaging the electrical components.

fig. 55

Refuelling

Do not overfill the tank when refuelling. The fuel level should always be below the rim of the filler cap recess (fig. 56).

Warning

Use fuel with low lead content and an original octane er of at least 95.

Check that no fuel is trapped in the filler cap recess.

Parking

Stop and park the motorcycle on the sidestand (see page 54).

To prevent theft, turn the handlebar fully left and turn the ignition key to the position (3, fig. 57).

If you park in a garage or other indoor area, make sure that there is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a source of heat.

If necessary, you can leave the sidelights on by turning the key to position (4, fig. 57).

Important

Do not leave the key at (4, fig. 57) for long periods or

the battery will run down. Never leave the motorcycle unattended with the ignition key inserted.

Warning

The exhaust system might be hot even after engine is switched off; take special care not to touch the exhaust system with any part of your body and do not park the motorcycle next to inflammable material (wood, leaves, etc.).

Warning

Using padlocks or other locks designed to prevent movement of the motorcycle (such as brake disc locks, rear sprocket locks, and so on) is very dangerous, and may impair motorcycle operation and the safety of rider and passenger.

Main Maintenance Operations

Changing the air filter

Important

For air filter servicing, contact a Ducati Authorized

Service Centre.

Checking the brake and clutch fluid level (fig. 59)

The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the respective reservoirs.

If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit, thus impairing the efficiency of the system.

Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance table (see Warranty Booklet) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre.

Important

It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be

renewed every 4 years.

Clutch system

If there is too much play at the clutch lever and the motorcycle jumps or stops when a gear is engaged, this indicates air in the system. Contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to have the system inspected and the air bled from the system.

Warning

The clutch fluid level in the reservoir tends to rise as the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).

Brake system

If there is excessive play at the brake lever or pedal even though the brake pads are still in good condition, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to have the system inspected and any air expelled from the circuit.

Warning

Brake and clutch fluid can damage paintwork and

plastic parts, so avoid contact.

Hydraulic fluid is corrosive and can cause damage and injuries.

Never mix fluids of different qualities.

Check that the seals are in good condition.

Checking the brake pads for wear (fig. 60)

Front brake

The brake pads are marked with wear indicators so that they can be checked without removing them from the calipers. If the grooves in the pad friction material are still visible, the pad is still in good condition.

Rear brake

The thickness of the friction material on each pad must be at least 1 mm.

Important

Have the brake pads replaced by a Ducati Dealer or

Authorized Service Centre.

Lubricating cables and linkages

The condition of the outer cables of the throttle and starter cables should be checked at regular intervals. There should be no signs of pinching or cracking on the outer plastic sheath. Operate the control to check that the inner cable slides smoothly: if you feel any rubbing or catching, have the cable replaced by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. To prevent these problems, periodically lubricate the ends of each control cable with SHELL Advance Grease or Retinax LX2.

In the case of the throttle cable, open the twistgrip housing by unbolting the two bolts (1, fig. 61) and grease the end of the cable and the race.

Warning

Close the twistgrip housing carefully, inserting the in the race.

Refit the housing and tighten the bolts (1) to 1.8 Nm.

To ensure smooth operation of the sidestand pivot, remove dirt and apply SHELL Alvania R3 grease to all friction points.

Adjusting the throttle cable

In all steering positions, the throttle twistgrip should have about 2 to 4mm of free travel, measured at the outer edge of the twistgrip housing. Adjust if necessary, using the adjuster (1, fig. 62) located on the twistgrip.

Tensioning the drive chain

Turn the rear wheel slowly to find the position at which the chain is at its most taut.

With the motorcycle on its sidestand, press with a finger in the centre of the bottom run of the chain and measure the distance between the centres of chain link pins and the aluminium swingarm. The distance should be 61 to 63mm (fig. 93).

Important

Have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or

Authorized Service Centre.

Warning

Correct tightening of the swingarm bolts (1, fig. 94)

is essential to rider and passenger safety.

Important

An incorrectly tensioned chain will lead to accelerated

wear of the transmission components.

Lubricating the drive chain

The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to protect its moving parts from dirt, and to hold the lubricant inside.

So as not to damage these seals when cleaning the chain, use special solvents and avoid aggressive washing with high-pressure steam cleaners. After cleaning, blow the chain dry with compressed air or wipe with an absorbent material, then lubricate each link with SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain.

Important

Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe

damage to the chain and the front and rear sprocket.

Changing bulbs

Before replacing a burnt-out bulb, make sure that the new one matches the voltage and wattage specifications in the "Electrical System" paragraph on page 109.

Important

For bulb replacements, contact a Ducati Authorized

Service Centre.

Refit and tighten the bolt (1).

Headlight aim (fig. 96)

To check the headlight aim, place the motorcycle upright with the tyres inflated to the correct pressure and one person sitting astride the motorcycle. The motorcycle should be perfectly vertical, with its longitudinal axis at right angles to a wall or screen at a distance of 10 metres. Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the height of the centre of the headlight and a vertical one in line with the longitudinal axis of the motorcycle. If possible, perform this check in conditions of low ambient light.

Switch on the low beam headlight:

the upper edge between the dark area and the lit area should not be above 9/10^th of the height of the headlamp centre from the ground.

Notes

This is the procedure specified by Italian regulations

for checking the maximum height of the light beam.

Owners in other countries should adapt this procedure to the regulations in force in the country where the motorcycle is used.

To adjust the headlight beam vertically, turn the adjuster screws (1, fig. 97); for horizontal adjustment, turn the adjuster screw (2).

Tyres

Front tyre pressure:

2.2 bar.

Rear tyre pressure:

2.4 bar.

As tyre pressures are affected by changes in temperature and altitude, check and adjust them whenever you are riding in areas where there are large variations in temperature or altitude.

Important

Check and adjust the pressures with the tyres cold.

To prevent distortion of the front wheel rim, increase tyre pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar when riding on bumpy roads.

Repairing or renewing tyres

With minor punctures, tubeless tyres take a long time to deflate, as they tend to hold the air inside. If you find that one of the tyres is slightly deflated, check the tyre for slow punctures.

Warning

Punctured tyres must be renewed.

Replace with tyres of the original brand and type.

Be sure to tighten the valve dust caps securely to prevent leaks while riding. Never fit tyres with inner tubes, as these can cause the tyre to burst suddenly, with possibly serious consequences for the rider and passenger.

After changing the tyre, the wheel must be balanced.

Important

Do not remove or alter the position of the wheel balancing weights.

Notes

If tyres need changing, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to make sure wheels are removed and refitted correctly.

Minimum tread depth

Measure the tread depth (S, fig. 99) at the point where the tread is most worn.

It should not be less than 2mm and in any case not less than the legal limit.

Important

Visually inspect the tyres at regular intervals for cracks and cuts, especially on the side walls, and bulges or large stains that indicate internal damage. Replace them if badly damaged.

Remove any stones or other foreign bodies stuck in the tread.

Checking the engine oil level (fig. 100)

Check the engine oil level through the sight glass (1) on the clutch-side crankcase cover.

Check the oil level with the motorcycle upright and the engine cold. Allow a few minutes for the oil level to stabilize after stopping the engine.

The oil level should be between the two marks next to the sight glass. If the level is below the bottom mark, top up with SHELL Advance Ultra 4 engine oil.

Remove the oil filler cap (2) and top up until the oil reaches the required level. Replace the filler cap.

Important

To change the engine oil and filters at the intervals

specified in the maintenance table in the Warranty Booklet, contact a Ducati dealer or Authorized Service Centre.

Oil viscosity

SAE 15W-50

The other viscosity values shown in the table can be used if the local average temperature is within the limits specified for that oil viscosity.

Cleaning and renewing the spark plugs

(fig. 101)

Spark plugs are an important part of the engine and should be checked at regular intervals.

This is a relatively simple operation and provides a good indication of how well the engine is running.

Pull the spark plug caps off the spark plugs and remove the plugs from the cylinder heads using the wrench supplied in the toolkit.

Check the colour of the ceramic insulation around the central electrode: an even brown colour is a sign that the engine is in good running order.

If the insulation is any other colour, or if there are dark deposits, renew the spark plug and describe the condition of the old plug to a Ducati dealer or Authorized Service Centre. Also check the central electrode; if it is worn or glazed, renew the spark plug.

Check the electrode gap, which must be 0.7 to 0.8mm

Important

If adjustment is required, bend the side electrode

carefully. A gap outside the specified limits will adversely affect engine performance and may lead to difficult starting or erratic idling.

Thoroughly clean the electrode and insulation using a wire brush, and check the condition of the washer.

Clean around the spark plug seating in the cylinder head, taking care not to drop any foreign material into the combustion chamber.

Insert the spark plug in the cylinder head and screw in fully by hand. Tighten to a torque of 20Nm

If you do not have a torque wrench, after hand-tightening the spark plug, turn it a further half turn with the wrench provided in the tool kit.

Important

Do not use spark plugs with an unsuitable heat rating. Correct reach.

The spark plug must be tightened correctly.

General cleaning

To preserve the original shine on metal surfaces and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals depending on the type of use and according to the particular road conditions. Use specific products, where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents.

Important

Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use, as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot surfaces.

Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets.

Cleaning the motorcycle with a high-pressure water jet may lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system, front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with consequent loss of safety.

If parts of the engine are unusually dirty or greasy, use a degreasing agent, avoiding contact with transmission components (chain, front and rear sprockets, etc.).

Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois leather.

Warning

There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. This will impair braking efficiency.

Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.

Storing the motorcycle

If the motorcycle is to be left unused for a long period, it is advisable to carry out the following operations first:

clean the motorcycle;

empty the fuel tank by removing the drain plug and gasket; pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through the spark plug bores, then turn the engine over by hand a few times to form a protective film of oil on the inner walls of the cylinder;

place the motorcycle on the paddock stand;

disconnect and remove the battery. If the motorcycle has been left unused for more than a month, the battery should be checked and re-charged if necessary.

Protect the motorcycle with a specific motorcycle cover that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture.

This type of motorcycle cover is available from Ducati Performance.

Important notes

The legislation in some countries (France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, etc.) sets certain noise and pollution standards.

Periodically carry out the required checks and renew parts as necessary, using Ducati original spare parts, in compliance with the regulations in the country concerned.

Reporting of safety defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Ducati North America. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Ducati North America. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE W43-488, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Safety warnings

Traffic Rules vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Know the regulations in your jurisdiction before riding this motorcycle.

Warning

This motorcycle is designed and intended for use on streets and other smooth, paved areas only. Do not use this motorcycle on unpaved surfaces. Such use could lead to upset or other accident.

Noise emission warranty

Ducati Motor S.p.A. warrants that this exhaust system, at the time of sale, meets all applicable U.S. EPA Federal noise standards. This warranty extends to the first person who buys this exhaust system for purposes other than resale, and to all subsequent buyers. Warranty claims should be directed to: Ducati North America, Inc., 10443 Bandley Drive, Cupertino, California, 95014 Tel: [phone] - Fax: [phone]

Noise and exhaust emission control system information

Source of Emissions

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons is very important because under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but is toxic. Ducati utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

Exhaust Emission Control System

The Exhaust Emission Control System is composed of lean carburetor settings, and no adjustments should be made except idle speed adjustments with the throttle stop screw. The Exhaust Emission Control System is separate from the crankcase emission control system.

Crankcase Emission Control System

The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and the throttle body.

Evaporative Emission Control System

California motorcycles are equipped with an evaporative emission control system which consists of a charcoal canister and associated piping. This system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from the throttle body and fuel tank.

Tampering warning

Tampering with Noise Control System Prohibited. Federal Law prohibits the following acts or causing thereof:

(1) the removal or rendering inoperative by any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:

(1) Removal of, or puncturing the muffler, baffles, header pipes or any other component which conducts exhaust gases.
(2) Removal or puncturing of any part of the intake system.
(3) Lack of proper maintenance.
(4) Replacing any moving part of the vehicle, or parts of the exhaust or intake system, with parts other than those specified by the manufacturer.

This product should be checked for repair or replacement if the motorcycle noise has increased significantly through use. Otherwise, the owner may become subject to penalties under state and local ordinances.

Problems that may affect motorcycle emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your local Ducati dealer.

Symptoms:

Hard starting or stalling after starting.

Rough idle.

Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration.

After-burning (backfiring).

Poor performance (driveability) and poor economy.

Riding safety

The points given below are applicable for every day motorcycle use and should be carefully observed for safe and effective vehicle operation.

A motorcycle does not provide the impact protection of an automobile, so defensive riding in addition to wearing protective apparel is extremely important.

Do not let protective apparel give you a false sense of security. Before changing lanes, look over your shoulder to make sure the way is clear. Do not rely solely on the rear view mirror; you may misjudge a vehicle's distance and speed, or you may not see it at all.

When going up steep slopes, shift to a lower gear so that there is plenty of power to spare rather than overloading the engine.

When applying the brakes, use both the front and rear brakes. Applying only one brake for sudden braking may cause the motorcycle to skid and lose control.

When going down long slopes, control vehicle speed by closing the throttle. Use the front and rear brakes for auxiliary braking.

Riding at the proper rate of speed and avoiding unnecessarily fast acceleration are important not only for safety and low fuel consumption but also for long vehicle life and quieter operation. When riding in wet conditions or on loose roadway surfaces, the ability to maneuver will be reduced. All of your actions should be smooth under these conditions. Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may cause loss of control. When the roadway is wet, rely more on the throttle to control vehicle speed and less on the front and rear brakes.

The throttle should also be used judiciously to avoid skidding the rear wheel from too rapid acceleration or deceleration. On rough roads, exercise caution, slow down, and grip the fuel tank with your knees for better stability.

When quick acceleration is necessary as in passing, shift to a lower gear to obtain the necessary power.

Do not down shift at too high an r.p.m. to avoid damage to the engine from overreving.

Avoiding unnecessary weaving is important to the safety of both the rider and other motorists.

Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. High speed increases the influence of any condition affecting stability and the loss of control.

Operate motorcycle only at moderate speed and out of traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with its operation and handling characteristics under all conditions. This is a very high performance motorcycle, designed and intended for use by experienced careful riders only!

A new motorcycle must be operated according to a special break-in procedure (see Running in recommendations).

brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks when refuelling or servicing the fuel system.

Always close the fuel petcock when the engine is not running to prevent flooding of the throttle body. Do not overfill fuel tank (see instructions page 40).

Motorcycle exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Do not inhale exhaust gases and never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.

Use only Ducati approved parts and accessories.

This motorcycle was not intended to be equipped with a sidecar or to be used to tow any trailer or other vehicle.

Ducati does not manufacture sidecars or trailers and cannot predict the effects of such accessories on handling or stability, but can only warn that the effects will be adverse and any damage to motorcycle components caused by the use of such accessories will not be remedied under warranty.

Warning

Do not ride the motorcycle with helmets attached to

the hook; the helmets could cause an accident by distracting the operator or interfering with normal vehicle operation.

Protective apparel

Always wear a helmet. Most motorcycle accident fatalities are due to head injuries.

For safety eye protection, gloves, and high top, sturdy boots should also be worn.

The exhaust system becomes very hot during operation, never touch the exhaust system. Wear clothing that fully covers your legs. Do not wear loose clothing which could catch on the control levers, footrests, wheels, or chain.

Any amount of alcohol will significantly interfere with your ability to safely operate your motorcycle. Don't drink and ride.

Vehicle identification number (VIN)

Every Ducati motorcycle is identified by two identification numbers (see page 9). Figure A specifically shows the frame identification numbers.

III. Limited liability

A. The liability of Ducati under this Emission Control Systems Warranty is limited solely to the remedying of defects in material or workmanship by an authorized Ducati motorcycle dealer at its place of business during customary business hours. This warranty does not cover inconvenience or loss of use of the motorcycle or transportation of the motorcycle to or from the Ducati dealer. Ducati shall not be liable for any other expenses, loss or damage, whether direct, incidental, consequential or exemplary arising in connection with the sale or use of or inability to use the Ducati motorcycle for any purpose. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of any incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
B. No express emission control system warranty is given by Ducati except as specifically set forth herein. Any emission control system warranty implied by law, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, is limited to the express emission control systems warranty terms stated in this warranty. The foregoing statements of warranty are exclusive and in lieu of all other remedies. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts so the above limitation may not apply to you.
C. No dealer is authorized to modify this Ducati Limited Emission Control Systems Warranty.

IV. Legal rights

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

V. This warranty is in addition to the Ducati limited motorcycle warranty.

VI. Additional information

Any replacement part that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in the performance of any maintenance or repairs. However, Ducati is not liable for these parts. The owner is responsible for the performance of all required maintenance. Such maintenance may be performed at a service establishment or by any individual. The warranty period begins on the date the motorcycle is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
